No it's not a shock...I am aware that interest is applied to the whole amount including the balloon payment ...but are you saying that the balloon payment element of the whole sum is interest free then ? I don't think so.... it must surely retain an element of interest which I won't be paying.. Or am I losing my marbles Confused Big Cry

Simon, didn't get any of those, just an invite to type in my PIN in the little box (twice!!!).

Unfortunately my mother is sailing off S Portugal having just sailed from the Azores so is not available for laundry duties. Still Mrs DSL is around and is quite handy with the old washing machine. I'll have to learn some day, s'pose!

PS Good to be back but off tomorrow for 4 weeks but might have Broadband installed up north (gods & BT be willing).

Then it isn't a shock to you - but may be to some less astute person.... Wink

No! I'm saying the opposite - you get nothing for nothing.....

I am paying the whole of the interest off the total amount in my 36 monthly payments and the balloon payment contains no element of the interest ...is that what you are saying? Confused

Hmmmmm

Lease Purchase or Baloon Payments do indeed attract interest but it is not normally at the same rate as the difference,

for instance if you take a £40,000 Car and in 3 years you may have a balloon payment of £15,000 you put a £5000 deposit down you can get around 4% at the moment so therefore 20,000 x 4% + 800 per year intrest 2,400 the finance company may only charge one years interest on the balloon in this case £800
therfore on a 35k advance there would be £3200 of intrest on the £20,000 difference
this gives you a payment of 36x644.44 1x15,000 total payable £43,800

a traditional Hp agreement / personal loan would charge the interest at the full rate so on £35,000 over 5 years there would be 7000 interest a total payable ot £47,000 (783.33 per month)

now

if you refinanced the balloon payment of £15,000 at the same 4 % that would give you an additional £1200 interest still giving you a 5 year agreement and saving you £2000 in the process

total amount payable HP / Loan £47,000 onve 5 years
Balloon payment total over 5 years (re financing the balloon)£45,000


Thats why a lot of people Use a Balloon payment facility


PS

You also know exactly what your settlement is after 3 years (£15000)
where as with the Hp / Loan (even with a rebate of intrest) you are still looking at a £18250 settlement


Which would you choose and why?

You get a £40k car putting down, say, £5k. You are borrowing £35k for the duration of the deal. You WILL pay interest on the £35k. Sometimes the amount of capital owed is reduced by repayments lowering the interest total. No commercial organisation is going to lend you £35k for nothing. Zero or very low % finance deals, aka discount on the price of the car..

Advantage of PCP etc. is that you know and can therefore budget your costs over the life of the deal No nasty surprised like massive depreciation (except for the finance co).

Buy for cash or finance?

If you think you can invest your cash for a better return than the finance charges and you worry about higher than expected depreciation then go the finance route.

If you’re not bothered by depreciation risks, and don’t rate your investment skills, then go the cash route.

As has been said, when looking at any finance arrangement add up ALL the costs over the period of the deal, including up front payments / deposits, monthly charges, VAT, balloon payments etc. Not forgetting the weasel set up and admin charges.

Ahh... I don't really know why I'm asking the question TBH ...I pay my monthly fee which I'm fairly happy with ...How can you put a offset value on the enjoyment I get from the motor....so I really shouldn't start contemplating interest calculations etc. I'll be a long time in the ground and anyway.... all motors cost a fortune... simple as Sad

No matter what you lose money on cars.


Actually that's not true I once bought a Renault 5 for £500 and a year later sold it at auction for £900! Mugs.

Not bad 80% profit - I can beat that though - my very first car was a 1966 VW Beetle - bought for... nothing... and sold for £25 - as scrap Embarassed

And not only that I didn't have it long enough to tax it (or insure it Whistle ) - only ever cost me petrol

Nearly right Mat - It was for an ex girlfriend to travel to and from the station and leave in the carpark overnight sometimes.
